ROLL HOLDER.

Application filed October 4-, 1923. Serial No. 666,572.

combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described,illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a view of a holder with the drawer part partly removed.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through Figure 1.

As shown in these views, the holder comprises a cover part 1 which has one end open, as at 2, and a drawer part 3 which slides in the cover part. This drawer part is to contain the roll of music and it has a tab 4 and a lip 7 at its front end for facilitating its removal from the cover part. The cover part is also provided with notches 30 for permitting the drawer part to be seized so that it can be pulled from the cover part.

From the above it will be seen that the drawer part can be easily pulled from the cover part and this arrangement permits a plurality of holders to be stacked together and the desired music roll can be taken from its holder without moving the other holders. When the roll has been played it can easily we returned to its holder without moving the other holders.

The end of the holder is made as large as the outer box so'that a label can be glued thereto, as shown at 6. The tab l can be formed in any desired manner, and a ring may be connected with the tab. The lip 7 can be formed by an extension of the bottom 01 the drawer or it can be formed by a bent over part of the label 6. Either the lip or the tab can be omitted and the drawer opened by the remaining part.

It is thought from the foregoing'description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

in the scope of the appended claim.

hat I claim is A music roll holder of rectangular shape in cross section and comprising a cover part having one end open, an open top drawer part for containing the roll which is slidably mounted in the cover part, said drawer part forming a single unit which may be en tirely withdrawn from the-cover part, a lip formed at the lower part of the outer end oi the drawer part by bending at an angle thereto an extension on the end piece of the drawer which forms the closure for the open end of the cover and a tab on the bottom oi thereof,

In testimony whereof I afiix my'signature.

FRANK J. KADAN.
